The LAST


One other journey, oh my love!
one more for us to share;
Again across the blooming land
Together We shall fare.
The happy days come back 10 me
When first We went away;
We too, We only, side by side,
That blessed wedding day.
All me how rapid were the wheels;
How swift the radiant hours,
How dear the shy and tender looks;
How sweet the bridal flowers.
Year after year we went again,
But never more alone;
With little links Of childish life
That bound us to our own.
The clingine hands, the baby words,
The losses ana the gain,
The anxious, faithful mother heart
That solaced every pain,
No more alone, yet dearCr far
Than tcndercst solicitude;
The gathering Of that flock beloved,
The mother with her brood.
And now, How silent are thy lips;
How still, without their smile;
No word OF mine, no thought Of thine
That silence shall bcguile.
How close those serious eyes are shut;
The white lids lift no more;
Nc living look OF love or peace,
No glance at sea or shore,
Art thou not here so near, so far.
Thy face ] can not see.
Here, and yet hidden from my sight
Oh God, how can it be?
Our long last journey. She and |
Together, yet apart;
Homeward and graveyard; she at rest;

THE INDIAN TERRITORY.
Garden City Sentinel.

Garden City Sentinel.
We hope the time is not far distant
when something can be done to bring
the fine body of land shown on the map
as the Indian Territory within the re-
straints of law and civilization.
The rights of the Indian must be fully
protected, but savagery must BE-
suppressed and civilization must prevail
over barbarism The soul Is panied. the
heart is sick with every days report OF
wrong and outrage with which that
portion of our earth Is filled Twenty
two United States marshals or deputy
narshais have been murdered in that
territory in the last two years. and hardly
a day passes without sending out To
the world the news Of one or more afro
cious murders. 1t IS time to put stop
to such things. and also time TO open
that fine body Of lands to the honest
home seekers who need them. Twelve
million acres OF those lands are vacant
and belong to the United States govern
ment alone. because that government
full twenty years ago bought and paid
for them in honest cash. There need be
no question or bubble about it. but il
there are cavils. settle them and make an
end to the matter in some way. We un-
derstand that the tribes that sold these
lands claim that they sold them with the
understanding that they were 10 be used
to settle other tribes Of Indians on. In
law this would make no difference.
Having Departed wit, their whole tritss
they can no longer dictate as 70 who shall

and are awaiting occupants, and they
should no longer he kept vacant. Let
them be appraised and condemned for

The London correspondent of the New
York Herald, a free-trade paper. recently
sent the following bit of news to Mr..
Benefits paper:
The progress Of the United States under
protection is the frequent theme of articles
and speeches all over the country. Work
ingmen brood long and earnestly over the
question. My opinion is they will decide
eventually for protection, but they will not
go over to it all at once They can not
quite agree as to what they want, but the
demand is growing, and the next great
agitation in the country will turn upon
this issue. Bright. Harrington, Chamber
lain and all their followers will oppose it.
Some people say Chamberlain will become
the leader of the movement at the proper
time, that is when it is clearly going to
win.
The attention of trade theorists
who seem bent upon undoing ali that has
been done in the matter of developing
this country and upholding the interests
of the laboring people under iudicious
system of protection, is directed to the
foregoing. The laboring people of Eng
land are i'll position to fully appreciate
the disadvantages under which they toll
as contrasted with the wage earners of
the United States. and practical exper-
fence is the most potent argument that
can be used.

AN AMERICAN INVENTION,
An invention of no little importan

An invention of no little importance
known as the Howell automatic or
fish torpedo, the American gsrival Of
the English Whitehead and its German
head is now in the hands of a company
which is engaged in perfecting the pow
ers Of this weapon into a commercial, if
not domestic, commodity. Discussing
the new engine and its application to
our coast defense, which question is be-
ing agitated with renewed energy by
the press of the country, especially in
the east. OF it an eastern exchange
says:
The Howell company has recently be-
gun the establishment of a shooting sta
ton in Narragansett bay, having selected
this locality for exhibition trials as being
more convenient of access than Buzzard S
bay and Peconic Bay, Long Island
where practice;has been had hitherto.
Trials to be had in the immediate vicin-
ity of Newport will be of no particular
interest to an observer, being merely to

stop nett the best adjustment of the div
ing rudder for initial submersion when
launched at high speed When practis-
ing in open water the range became so
great at high speed that it was difficult
to recover the torpedo at end of run. but
by using stop net as now provided for,
adjustment for any speed can be easily
made. The long range trials viii be
made in the bay north of the Newport
harbor.
For facility of practice the company
has fitted float or movable platform
with dlscharging apparatus and steam
power for actuating the torpedo. The
float thus equipped can be taken to any
convenient locality in the bar for trials
requested by private persons and foreign
officials, and for the torpedo board. All
expenses of trials and equipment since
March, 1885, have been paid by the
Howell company. which was formed at
that time, and not by the government,
as variously asserted Much has also
been written about the steel defense-net
rendering the fish torpedo harmless 1t
is well known, however, by experts in
naval warfare. that the net cannot be
employed without great disadvantage,
except when a vessel is at anchor. In
such a case the Howell torpedo can be
easily made to pass below the net and
explode under the vessels bottom by
means of an attachment, the principles
of which have been tested and the tor
pedo tried at a depth of forty-two feet.

| The long interval that may elapse be-
Tense and the execution of sentence upon
the criminal under the operation of our
laws. which was illustrated in the case
of the Chicago anarchists. has been seized
upon by Henry George as a text for
lengthy dissertation and adverse criti-
cism, his idea being, in brief, that of
Tenders when convicted, should be Wis
tied with the penalty imposed as speedily
as possible. Abstractly considered his
theories are correct. but in the cases of
the anarchists it will be remembered that
with the long interval between their con-
viction and execution their friends vet
plead for more time. 1t is true that UNI
der the operations Of the law with its in
Vulnerable technicalities the ends of
justice may be long deferred and in fact
fact defeated altogether, but the
underlying principle in law
that a man is regarded as innocent until
proven guilty often necessitates long
and tedious inquiry into the circum-
stances of the case in order to get at the
facts, and if at last these are based upon
circumstantial evidence. though often
the strongest of proof, it would seem to
entltle the accused TO the fullest latitude
as to time in which to establish his inno-
cence. And it should be born in mind
that the object of the law in infiicting
penalties is TO deter the commission of
crime as well as to punish for crime
committed. and it is the certainty rather
than the severity of punishment that has
the greatest lettering effect. The theme
is one upon which almost unlimited the
orizing can be INDUCED but the facts
briefly stated are enough TO meet the
posthumouS theories of anarchists or
others criminally inclined.

Mr.. Carlisle, of Kentucky, talked a
little about himself and other interesting
subjects Saturday. Personally, he said,
he would rather be on the floor of the
house this session than in the chair, and
that he has been urged by several friends
to take the ways and means committee
and the lead in the coming tariff discus
sion and legislation. But if he were to
give way to this advice and his own in
clinatioGS. it would be said that he was
afraid of the Thoebe contest and anyhow
he feels it his duty to the Democratic
party to stick He said that he would
ask the house the first thing TO eject "a

standing committees will be announced
